Railroad fire changed face of Suisun in 1906 / Bowen, Jerry [601] [WAYITWAS-2005-601]
With all the disasters flooding the news, I might as well add one more, although it's nowhere near on the scale of Hurricane Katrina. It happened in 1906. No, this story isn't about the San Francisco earthquake on April 18, 1906. That was already old news, at least for the local folks.

Traces of some early homes still survive / Bowen, Jerry [202] [WAYITWAS-2004-202]
Have you ever wondered where some of the earliest settlers lived in Solano County? Perhaps your own home is located right on top of, or near, the site one of our historical figures once called home and you don't even know it.
